What I'm Reminiscing About...

All of the wonderful memories made during the Christmas season while growing up as well as my trips back to NY to celebrate the season with my family!

What I'm Loving...

I took this week off of work as a stay-cation and I'm really enjoying the mental and physical break of not working. I have rheumatoid arthritis and other health issues and this break has been much needed. During the week off, my mom and I have been spending tons of time together, which I'm loving. We have been watching lots of Christmas movies, ate at our favorite Italian restaurant, and went to a few stores. I also had a few doctor's appointments to go to. Tomorrow, my mom and I are making sugar Christmas cookies with frosting and I'm so excited for that!

What I've Been Up To...

Working, attending doctor's appointments, spending time with my mom, spending time with my friends A & R, reading Christmas books, watching lots of Christmas movies.

What I'm Dreading...

The cold weather. Having RA, the cold weather really does a number on my bones and joints.

What I'm Working On...

Finishing up my Christmas shopping.

What I'm Excited About...

The Christmas season and all of the fun that comes with celebrating the season!

What I'm Watching/Reading...

Watching: Regular Fall TV shows & lots of Christmas movies
Reading: Christmas books

What I'm Listening To...

CHRISTMAS MUSIC!

What I'm Wearing...

Work shirts and pants at work. Comfy clothes at home. Sweaters/jeans when I'm out.

What I'm Doing This Weekend...

During the day on Saturday, I'm going to be relaxing and taking it easy because I'm going to a country music concert at night, which I'm very excited about. Sunday, I will be spending the day with my friend A, helping her decorate her place for Christmas!

What I'm Looking Forward To Next Month...

Country music concert, spending time with my mom, spending time with my friends, a planner conference that I will be attending with friends, local planner meet up, my niece O's birthday, Christmas & the holiday season, my birthday, New Year's Eve.

What Else Is New...

I think I covered everything!

    Ah, so much festivity--I love it! I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping too. I kind of hate that I feel like I'm rushing through it, but now I'm at the point where I just want to be done with it so I can chill the rest of the season haha. And now I'm starvinggg after reading about all the food you've been eating/making. The best!
